Pekingology

China has emerged as one of the 21st century’s most consequential nations, making it more important than ever to understand how the country is governed.

Jude Blanchette, the Freeman Chair in China Studies at CSIS, is joined by various experts to analyze the activities of the Chinese governing system and how these impact the complex relationships relating to China.

Pekingology is produced by Gina Kim.
